CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a Divisional Application of U.S. application Ser. No. 17/315,596, filed May 10, 2021, which is based on and claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0134625, filed on Oct. 16, 2020, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The disclosure relates to micro light emitting device arrays and methods of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to large-area micro light emitting device arrays formed by using alignment marks during a manufacturing process, and methods of manufacturing the same.

2. Description of Related Art

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) have low power consumption and are environmentally friendly. Owing to these advantages, industrial demand for LEDs has increased. LEDs are applied not only to lighting devices or light crystal display (LCD) backlights, but also to light emitting device display apparatuses. That is, display apparatuses using a micro-unit light emitting device have been developed. In manufacturing micro light emitting device display apparatuses, it is necessary to transfer a micro light emitting device to a substrate. A pick and place method is widely used to transfer the micro light emitting device to the substrate. However, in such a method, as the size of the micro light emitting device decreases and the size of a display increases, the productivity of the method decreases. Moreover, transferring a micro light emitting device that emits a plurality of color lights takes a lot of time because a transfer process is further required as many times as the number of colors.

In addition, as the area of the light emitting device display apparatus increases, the area of a driving circuit board to which the micro light emitting device needs to be transferred also increases. In order to form a display apparatus having a large area, when a transfer process for the micro light emitting device becomes longer, more time and cost may be incurred in manufacturing the display apparatus. Thus, a method of efficiently transferring a micro light emitting device to a driving circuit board is required.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the method of manufacturing a micro light emitting device array according to an example embodiment may include a first operation (S101) of forming a display transfer structure 100 including a transfer substrate 101 and a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12. According to an example embodiment, the transfer substrate 101 includes at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2, and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 are arranged on the transfer substrate 101. According to an example embodiment, the method includes a second operation (S102) of preparing a driving circuit board 200. According to an example embodiment, the driving circuit board 200 includes a plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4. According to an example embodiment, at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 are arranged in a region corresponding to the area of a surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 are arranged, Moreover, the at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 are arranged in the same manner as at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 so as to corresponding to each other. According to an example embodiment, the method includes a third operation (S103) of arranging the display transfer structure 100 and the driving circuit board 200 to face each other so that at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 face one another. According to an example embodiment, the method includes a fourth step (S104) of bonding the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 of the display transfer structure 100 to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22. According to an example embodiment, the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 are arranged in the region corresponding to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 arranged. According to another example embodiment, the order of the operations is not limited to the illustrated in FIG. 1 .

In the first operation (S101), the display transfer structure 100 used to transfer the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 to the driving circuit board 200 may be formed. For example, in the first operation (S101), the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be arranged on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101. Also, referring to FIG. 2 , at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 that may be used to adjust the relative position of the transfer substrate 101 to the driving circuit board 200 may be formed on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101. At least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may have an embossed shape. However, example embodiments are not limited thereto, and at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may have an intaglio shape. Alternatively, part of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may have an embossed shape, and the other part thereof may have an intaglio shape. At least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may be symmetrically arranged on the transfer substrate 101. At least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may be formed on edges of the transfer substrate 101. Although three micro light emitting devices 10, 11 and 12 are shown in FIG. 2 , this is for convenience of description and the disclosure is not limited thereto, and as such, the number of a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be numerous.

There may be various methods of forming the display transfer structure 100. The display transfer structure 100 may be formed by arranging the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101. The display transfer structure 100 may be formed by arranging the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 on the transfer substrate 101 in the form of a two-dimensional array. As a method of arranging the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101, there may be a stamping method, an inkjet printing method, a wet alignment method, or the like. For example, the display transfer structure 100 of FIG. 2 may be formed by arranging the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 in a plurality of grooves f1, f2, and f3 formed on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 by using the wet alignment method. A method of forming the display transfer structure 100 by using the wet alignment method will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 through 34 .

In the operation step (S102), the driving circuit board 200 including the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 may be prepared. The plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 may be arranged on the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200. The plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 may drive the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 to emit light. The plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 may correspond to the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12, respectively. For example, the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 may be arranged on the driving circuit board 200 in the form of a two-dimensional array. Although three driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 are shown in FIG. 2 , this is for convenience of description and the disclosure is not limited thereto, and as such, the number of the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 may be numerous.

The areas of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 and the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 that face each other may be the same. Thus, the area of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 may correspond to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 are arranged. For example, the area of the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 may be greater than 4 inches. Thus, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be arranged on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 having a greater area than 4 inches. Also, the area of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 may be greater than 4 inches, which is the same as the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100.

However, example embodiments are not limited thereto, and the area of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 may be greater than the area of the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101. For example, when the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 is 4 inches, the area of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 that faces the transfer substrate 101 may be 40 inches. In this case, by performing a bonding operation of the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 using the display transfer structure 100 several times, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be bonded to the entire upper surface of the driving circuit board 200. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 through 16 . At least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be formed in the region of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 corresponding to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 are arranged, wherein the at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 are arranged in the same manner as at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 arranged on the transfer substrate 101. The number of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and the number of at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 formed in the region corresponding to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 are arranged, on the driving circuit board 200 may be the same.

Referring to FIG. 2 , at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 formed in the region of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 corresponding to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 are arranged may be disposed to face at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2. any one of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and any one of the at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other have surfaces having the same shape. For example, shapes (e.g., rectangles) of surfaces of the first alignment mark AM1 and the second alignment mark AM3 that face each other may be the same. Also, shapes (e.g., rectangles) of surfaces of the first alignment mark AM2 and the second alignment mark AM4 that face each other may be the same. However, embodiments are not limited thereto, and the shapes of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may have various shapes other than rectangles, and this will be described later with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19 .

At least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may have an intaglio shape. However, example embodiments are not limited thereto, and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may have an embossed shape. Alternatively, part of at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may have an embossed shape, and the other part thereof may have an intaglio shape.

In the third operation (S103), the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 and the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 may be disposed to face each other. As described above, the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 may be a surface on which a plurality of micro optical devices 10, 11 and 12 are arranged, and the upper surface of the driving circuit board 100 may be a surface on which the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21 and 22 are arranged. For example, in the third operation (S103), the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 may be disposed to face a region of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 corresponding to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11 and 12 are arranged. Referring to FIG. 2 , the area of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 may be the same as the area of the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100. Thus, when the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 is disposed to face the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200, the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 may face the entire upper surface of the driving circuit board 200.

In the third operation (S103), when the display transfer structure 100 and the driving circuit board 200 are disposed to face each other, at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be disposed to face each other. For example, referring to FIG. 3 , at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 having an embossed shape formed on the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 having the intaglio shape formed on the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 may be disposed to face each other. However, example embodiments are not limited thereto, and at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may have an intaglio shape, and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may have an embossed shape.

According to another example embodiment, at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may have be a protrusion, and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be an opening. According to another example embodiment, at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may have be an opening, and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be a protrusion.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the width of at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 having the intaglio shape may be greater than the width of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 having the embossed shape. For example, when the first alignment mark AM1 is seated inside the second alignment mark AM3, the first alignment mark AM1 may be apart from the left inner surface of the second alignment mark AM3 by a first distance d1 and may be apart from the right inner surface of the second alignment mark AM3 by a second distance d2. Also, when the first alignment mark AM2 is seated inside the second alignment mark AM4, the first alignment mark AM2 may be apart from the right inner surface of the second alignment mark AM4 by a third distance d3 and may be apart from the left inner surface of the second alignment mark AM4 by a fourth distance d4. In this case, the display transfer structure 100 and the driving circuit board 200 may be disposed so that the first distance d1 and the third distance d3 may be the same and the second distance d2 and the fourth distance d4 may be the same.

In this way, relative positions of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be properly adjusted so that the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be arranged at positions corresponding to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22.

In the fourth operation (S104), after the display transfer structure 100 and the driving circuit board 200 that face each other are in close contact with each other, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be bonded to the driving circuit board 200. After the display transfer structure 100 is in close contact with the driving circuit board 200, the transfer substrate 101 may be removed so that the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 alone may be bonded to the driving circuit board 200.

For example, referring to FIG. 4 , the display transfer structure 100 is in close contact with the region of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 corresponding to the area of the surface of the display transfer structure 100 on which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 are arranged, thereby bonding the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 to the driving circuit board 200. Thus, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be arranged on the driving circuit board 200 so that a bonding structure 300 may be formed. The bonding structure 300 may be referred to as a micro light emitting device array. The example embodiment shown in FIG. 4 illustrates the case where the areas of the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 and the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 are the same. For example, the area of the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 may be greater than 4 inches. Thus, by using the display transfer structure 100, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 that may be arranged in a region having a greater area than 4 inches may be bonded to the driving circuit board 200 at once. Also, for example, the area of the upper surface of the transfer substrate 101 may be greater than 8 inches and less than 9 inches. In this case, by using the display transfer structure 100, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 that may be arranged in a region having an area that is greater than 8 inches and less than 9 inches may be bonded to the driving circuit board 200. In this way, as the size of the transfer substrate 101 is increased, the display transfer structure 100 capable of transferring a plurality of more micro light emitting devices 10 to the driving circuit board 200 at once may be formed.

Although a plurality of (thirty-six) micro light emitting devices 10 arranged on the bonding structure 300 are shown in FIG. 4 , this is for convenience of description, and the number of the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 is not limited thereto. For example, the number of the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 that may be arranged on the transfer substrate 101 may be numerous.

The plurality of driving circuits 20 may be arranged on the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200 in the form of a two-dimensional array. Also, at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be formed on edges of the driving circuit board 200. At least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 may be arranged at positions in which they are symmetrical to each other with respect to a central symmetry axis RL of the driving circuit board 200. According to an example embodiment, at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may be arranged on the transfer substrate 101. At least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may be formed to face at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the example bonding method that may be applied to the fourth operation (S104) of FIG. 1 may include, for example, pre-bonding the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 by seating or placing the display transfer structure 100 on the driving circuit board 200 (S1041), applying pressure between the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 and the driving circuit board 200 (S1042), and performing thermal treatment on the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 and the driving circuit board 200 (S1043).

In the pre-bonding operation (S1041), the display transfer structure 100 and the driving circuit board 200 that face each other of FIG. 2 may be in close contact with each other so that the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be pre-bonded to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22. According to an example embodiment, at least one electrode may be arranged on a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12. At least one electrode arranged on the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be electrically connected to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22. Thus, a bonding structure 300 may be formed. A configuration in which at least one electrode arranged on the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11 and 12 and the driving circuits 20, 21 and 22 are electrically connected to each other, will be described later with reference to FIGS. 36 through 38 .

Referring to FIG. 6 , heat and pressure may be applied to a bonding structure 300 formed by pre-bonding the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 to the driving circuit board 200. For example, a pressurizer 400 may be arranged on the upper surface of the driving circuit board 200, and the pressurizer 400 may be in close contact with the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12. In this way, pressure may be applied between the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 and the driving circuit board 200 by using the pressurizer 400. Also, a heat generating device 500 may be arranged on a lower surface of the driving circuit board 200, and heat from the heat generating device 500 may be applied to the bonding structure 300. In this way, heat treatment may be performed on the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 and the driving circuit board 200 by using the heat generating device 500.

As in the method shown in FIG. 5 , by using a bonding method in which pressure and heat treatment are performed, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 may be firmly bonded to the driving circuit board 200.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart schematically illustrating another example bonding method that may be applied to the fourth operation (S104) of FIG. 1 . FIG. 8 is provided to schematically describe the bonding method of FIG. 7 .

Referring to FIG. 7 , the example bonding method that may be applied to the fourth operation (S104) of FIG. 1 may include, for example, preparing an adhesive material 30 between the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 and the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 (S1044) and bonding the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10, 11, and 12 to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 using the adhesive material by allowing the transfer substrate 101 to be in close contact with the driving circuit board 200 (S1045).

As shown in FIG. 8 , the adhesive material 30 may be provided to cover the entire region in which the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21 and 22 are arranged on the driving circuit board 200. For example, the adhesive material 30 may be provided to cover a region between the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 in addition to the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22. However, example embodiments are not limited thereto, and the adhesive material 30 may be provided to cover the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22 alone except for the region between the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22. In this case, the adhesive material 30 may be provided in the arrangement in the form of a two-dimensional array according to the arrangement in the form of the two-dimensional array of the plurality of driving circuits 20, 21, and 22.

The adhesive material 30 may include a conductive material of an adhesive component. For example, the adhesive material 30 may include a conductive paste, an anisotropic conductive film (ACF), etc.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method of manufacturing a micro light emitting device array according to another example embodiment. FIG. 10 is a perspective view schematically illustrating the configuration of a micro light emitting device array 1000 manufactured by the manufacturing method of FIG. 9 .

First through fourth operations (S201 through S204) of the method of manufacturing the micro light emitting device array shown in FIG. 9 may be substantially the same as first through fourth steps (S101 through S104) shown in FIG. 1 . The method of manufacturing the micro light emitting device array of FIG. 9 may further include a fifth operation S205 and a sixth operation S206 compared to the manufacturing method of FIG. 1 . When describing FIG. 9 , redundant descriptions with FIGS. 1 through 8 will be omitted.

Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10 , in a fifth operation (S205), first through fourth operation (S201 through S204) may be repeatedly performed so that a plurality of bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, and 309 may be formed by bonding the driving circuit board 200 to the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10. Although nine bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308 and 309 are shown in FIG. 10 , this is for convenience of description, and example embodiments are not limited thereto.

In the sixth operation (S206), the plurality of bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308 and 309 may be connected to one another so that a large-area micro light emitting device array 1000 may be formed. For example, the plurality of bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, and 309 may be connected to one another in a two-dimensional plane so that the large-area micro light emitting device array 1000 may be formed.

Also, for example, the length of each side of each of the plurality of bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, and 309 may be 8 inches to 10 inches. Also, the length of one side of the large-area micro light emitting device array 1000 may be 50 inches or more. However, this is just an example, and the length of each side of each the plurality of bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, and 309 and the length of the large-area micro light emitting device array 1000 are not limited to the above description.

According to the method of manufacturing the micro light emitting device array of FIG. 9 , the plurality of bonding structures 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, and 309 formed as many as desired using alignment marks AM may be connected to one another, so that the large-area micro light emitting device array 1000 shown in FIG. 10 may be more efficiently manufactured. Here, the large area may refer to an area greater than the area of the display transfer structure 100.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method of manufacturing a micro light emitting device array according to another example embodiment. FIGS. 12 through 16 are perspective views schematically illustrating a process of manufacturing the micro light emitting device array 1100 according to the manufacturing method of FIG. 12 .

First through fourth operations (S301 through S304) of the method of manufacturing the micro light emitting device array shown in FIG. 11 may be substantially the same as the first through fourth operation (S101 through S104) shown in FIG. 1 . However, the driving circuit board 210 prepared in the second operation S302 of the manufacturing method of FIG. 11 is different from the driving circuit board 200 prepared in the second operation S102 of the manufacturing method of FIG. 1 . For example, referring to FIG. 12 , the area of the upper surface of the driving circuit board 210 may be greater than the area of the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100 that faces the upper surface of the driving circuit board 210. For example, the driving circuit board 210 may include a plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 corresponding to the area of the upper surface of the display transfer structure 100. The areas of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 may be the same. At least two second alignment marks AM may be arranged in each of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9.

Although thirty-six micro light emitting devices 10 or driving circuits 20 are shown in each of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 of FIGS. 12 through 16 , this is for convenience of description. The number of the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 and the number of driving circuits 20 are not limited thereto. For example, the number of a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 or the number of driving circuits 20 that may be arranged in each of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 may be innumerable.

Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13 , the first through fourth operations (S301 through S304) of FIG. 11 may be performed on a first sub-region SA1 from among the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 of the driving circuit board 210. Thus, a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be bonded to the first sub-region SA1 of the driving circuit board 210.

Also, the manufacturing method of FIG. 11 may further include fifth through eighth operations (S305 through S308) compared to the manufacturing method of FIG. 1 . The fifth through seventh operations (S305 through S307) of FIG. 11 may be substantially the same as the first operation (S301), the third operation (S303), and the fourth operation (S304), respectively. However, the fifth operation (S305) through seventh operation (S307) may be performed on the second sub-region SA2 of the driving circuit board 210, unlike in the first operation (S301), the third operation (S303), and the fourth operation (S304). Thus, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be bonded to the second sub-region SA2 of the driving circuit board 210.

In the eighth operation (S308), it may be determined whether the micro light emitting device 10 is bonded to all of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 of the driving circuit board 210. In the eighth operation (S308), when the micro light emitting device 10 is not bonded to all of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 of the driving circuit board 210 (NO), the first through seventh operations (S301 through S307) may be repeatedly performed on a sub-region to which the micro light emitting device 10 is not bonded. In the eighth operation (S308), in case (YES) where the micro light emitting device 10 is bonded to all of the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 of the driving circuit board 210, procedures are ended.

According to the method of manufacturing the micro light emitting device array of FIG. 11 , a plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 are sequentially transferred to the plurality of sub-regions SA1, SA2, SA3, SA4, SA5, SA6, SA7, SA8, and SA9 of the large-area driving circuit board 210 including a plurality of second alignment marks AM, so that the large-area micro light emitting device array 1100 shown in FIG. 16 may be more efficiently manufactured. Here, the large area may refer to an area greater than the area of the display transfer structure 100.

FIGS. 17A-17C schematically illustrate the configuration of example driving circuit boards 220, 230, and 240. In FIGS. 17A-17C, for convenience of description, a plurality of driving circuits included in the driving circuit boards 220, 230, and 240 have been omitted. The example driving circuit boards 220, 230, and 240 of FIGS. 17A-17C may be applied to example embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 16 .

Referring to FIGS. 17A-17C, at least two alignment marks AM may be formed on the driving circuit boards 220, 230, and 240. At least two alignment marks AM may be formed on edges of the driving circuit boards 220, 230, and 240.

As shown in FIG. 17A, at least two alignment marks AM may be arranged on the example driving circuit board 220 at positions in which they are symmetrical to each other with respect to a diagonal center line RL1. For example, at least two alignment marks AM may be arranged in a corner regions facing each other with the diagonal center line RL1 disposed therebetween.

As shown in FIG. 17B, at least two alignment marks AM may be arranged on the example driving circuit board 230 at positions in which they are symmetrical to each other with respect to a diagonal center line RL2. For example, at least two alignment marks AM may be arranged in a region in which they are adjacent to two edges sharing a vertex through which the diagonal center line RL1 passes.

As shown in FIG. 17C, at least two alignment marks AM may be arranged on the example driving circuit board 240 at positions in which they are symmetrical to each other with respect to a center line RL3. For example, at least two alignment marks AM may be apart from each other based on the center line RL3 and may be arranged in a region adjacent to one arbitrary edge of the driving circuit board 240.

FIGS. 18 and 19 schematically illustrate example shapes of the surface of at least one first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least one second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that may be applied to the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 17 .

Surfaces of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other may have at least one shape from among various figures, characters, numbers, or a combination thereof.

Referring to FIG. 18 , surfaces of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other may have various figure shapes. For example, as shown in FIG. 18 , surfaces of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other may have one shape from among a triangle (a), a rectangle (b), a square (b), a pentagon (c), hexagon (d), a circle (e), a partially erased circle (f), an ellipse (g), or a cross (h). However, embodiments are not limited thereto, and surfaces of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other may include other shapes than various shapes shown in FIG. 18 .

Referring to FIG. 19 , surfaces of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other may include various shapes, figures, or a combination thereof. The shapes shown in FIG. 19 are exemplary, and the shape of surfaces of at least two first alignment marks AM1 and AM2 and at least two second alignment marks AM3 and AM4 that face each other is not limited thereto.

FIG. 21 schematically illustrates the configuration of a micro light emitting device wet alignment apparatus. FIG. 22 illustrates a scanning process of a method of a micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to an example embodiment. FIG. 23 illustrates a process of aligning a micro light emitting device according to the micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to an example embodiment.

The exemplary method of forming the display transfer structure 100 shown in FIG. 20 is a wet alignment method. The micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to an example embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 and 21 .

A transfer substrate 101 including a plurality of grooves F may be prepared (S401). The transfer substrate 101 may be provided as a single layer or may include a plurality of layers. The plurality of grooves F may be provided to arrange at least one micro light emitting device 10. Liquid may be supplied to the plurality of grooves F (S402). The liquid may be any type of liquid as long as it does not corrode or damage the micro light emitting device 10. The liquid may include, for example, at least one of a group including water, ethanol, alcohol, polyol, ketone, halocarbon, acetone, flux, or organic solvent. The organic solvent may include isopropyl alcohol (IPA), for example. The liquid is not limited thereto, and there may be various modifications.

A method of supplying the liquid to the plurality of grooves F may be used in various ways, such as a spray method, a dispensing method, an inkjet dot method, and a method of flowing the liquid onto the transfer substrate 101. This will be described later.

A plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101 (S403). The plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be directly sprayed onto the transfer substrate 101 without the liquid or may be supplied using a material other than the liquid. Alternatively, the micro light emitting devices 10 while being included in a solution may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101 in various ways. In this case, a method of supplying the micro light emitting devices 10 may be variously used in a spray method, a dispensing method, an inkjet dot method, and a method of flowing the solution onto the transfer substrate 101. A method of supplying the micro light emitting devices 10 to the transfer substrate 101 is not limited thereto and may be variously modified. The liquid may be supplied to fit the grooves F, or the liquid may be supplied to overflow from the grooves F. The amount of supply of the liquid may be variously adjusted.

The transfer substrate 101 may be scanned using an absorbing material 140 capable of absorbing the liquid (S404). The absorbing material 140 is sufficient as long as it is a material capable of absorbing the liquid, and the shape or structure thereof is not limited. The absorbing material 140 may include, for example, fabric, tissue, polyester fiber, paper, or wiper. The absorbing material 140 may be used alone without other auxiliary devices. However, example embodiments are not limited thereto, and the absorbing material 140 may be coupled to a support 150 to facilitate scanning of the transfer substrate 101 with the absorbing material 140. The support 150 may have various shapes and structures suitable for scanning the transfer substrate 101. The support 150 may include, for example, a rod, a blade, a plate, or wiper. The absorbing material 140 may be provided on either side of the support 150, or the absorbing material 140 may be wound around the support 150.

The transfer substrate 101 may be scanned while the absorbing material 140 presses the transfer substrate 101 with an appropriate pressure. Scanning may include allowing the absorbing material 140 to come into contact with the transfer substrate 101 and to pass through the plurality of grooves F. The liquid may be absorbed by the absorbing material 140 during scanning. Scanning may be performed in various ways including, for example, at least one of a sliding method, a rotating method, a translating motion method, a reciprocating motion method, a rolling method, a spinning method or a rubbing method of the absorbing material 140 and may include both a regular method and an irregular method. Alternatively, scanning may include at least one of a rotating motion, a translating motion, a rolling motion, or a spinning motion of the transfer substrate 101. Alternatively, scanning may also be performed by cooperation between the absorbent material 140 and the transfer substrate 101.

Scanning the transfer substrate 101 using the absorbing material 140 may include absorbing the liquid in the plurality of grooves F when the absorbing material 140 passes through the plurality of grooves F. When the transfer substrate 101 is scanned using the absorbing material 140, at least one micro light emitting device 10 may be attached to the absorbing material 140. The absorbing material 140 may come into contact with the transfer substrate 101 and may pass through the plurality of grooves F.

In FIG. 20 , supplying the liquid to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 (S402) and supplying the plurality of light emitting devices 10 to the transfer substrate 101 (S403) may be sequentially performed as separate operations or may be performed in an opposite order. As such, the disclosure of the method is not limited to the order illustrated flowcharts of the disclosure. Also, supplying the liquid to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 (S402) and supplying the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 to the transfer substrate 120 (S403) may be simultaneously performed as one step.

Next, after all of the micro light emitting devices 10 are transferred to the transfer substrate 101, a dummy micro light emitting device that remains in the transfer substrate 101 may be removed (S405).

Referring to FIG. 22 , the absorbing material 140 may be provided on the surface of the support 150, and scanning may be performed in a state in which the absorbing material 140 comes into contact with the surface of the transfer substrate 101. When scanning is performed by the absorbing material 140, the micro light emitting devices 10 may be adsorbed onto or attached to the surface of the absorbing material 140, and the micro light emitting devices 10 may be pushed by the absorbing material 140 and may be moved forwards. The micro light emitting devices 10 may be arranged between the absorbing material 140 and the transfer substrate 101.

FIG. 23 is an enlarged view of the grooves F. The micro light emitting devices 10 moved by the absorbing material 140 may enter the grooves F. Here, the absorbing material 140 may absorb the liquid L in the grooves F, and the micro light emitting devices 10 may enter the grooves F.

Referring back to FIGS. 20 and 21 , operations S402, S403, and S404 may be repeatedly performed as necessary until all of the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be transferred to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101. For example, after the transfer substrate 101 is scanned using the absorbing material 140, when the liquid is not present in the grooves F or is not sufficient, operation S402 of supplying the liquid to the grooves F may be further performed. Here, when the plurality of micro light emitting devices 101 are not sufficient in the transfer substrate 101, from operations S402, S403 and S404 may be performed without going through operation S403. Alternatively, when too much liquid is supplied to the transfer substrate 101, some liquid may be removed using a blade as needed.

Alternatively, after the transfer substrate 101 is scanned using the absorbing material 140, when the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 are insufficient in the transfer substrate 101, supplying the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 to the transfer substrate 101 may be further performed.

Through the above-described process, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be aligned on the transfer substrate 101.

FIG. 24 schematically illustrates the configuration of a display transfer structure 110 according to another example embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 24 , the display transfer structure 110 may include a substrate 111 and a transfer mold 103. A plurality of grooves f4, f5, and f6 may be provided in the transfer mold 103. The plurality of grooves f4, f5, and f6 may be provided in the transfer mold 103 in the form of through holes or grooves. Also, at least two alignment marks AM1 and AM2 may be formed on edges of the transfer mold 103.

Furthermore, an oxide layer 104 may be further provided between the substrate 111 and the transfer mold 103 of the display transfer structure 110. The oxide layer 104 may include, for example, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, or NiO₂. The oxide layer 104 may have hydrophilicity. The oxide layer 104 may facilitate the liquid to be filled in the plurality of grooves f4, f5, and f6.

FIG. 25 illustrates a micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to an example embodiment. FIG. 26 illustrates a solution 170 and a transfer substrate 101 used in the micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to an example. FIG. 27 illustrates an example method of supplying the solution 170 including the micro light emitting devices 10 of FIG. 25 to the transfer substrate 101.

Referring to FIG. 25 , supplying the liquid L to the transfer substrate 101 shown in FIG. 20 (S402) and supplying the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 to the transfer substrate 101 (S403) may be simultaneously performed.

Referring to FIGS. 25 and 26 , the solution 170 including the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 and a liquid L1 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101 (S502). The solution 170 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101 so that the liquid L1 may be supplied to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101, and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101. In this case, the liquid L1 does not need to be previously supplied to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 by a separate process. Supplying the liquid L1 to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 by a separate process may be optionally added.

Referring to FIG. 27 , when the solution 170 is supplied to the transfer substrate 101, an inkjet method may be used. For example, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101 by using an ink supply device 600 filled with the solution 170 including the liquid L1 and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 therein. While moving the ink supply device 600 on the transfer substrate 101 in parallel, liquid droplets 60 including the liquid L1 and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be discharged through an outlet 601. Thus, the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be supplied to a desired position on the transfer substrate 101.

FIG. 28 illustrates a micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to another example embodiment. FIG. 29 illustrates a solution and an absorbing material used in a micro light emitting device wet alignment method according to another example embodiment.

Referring to FIGS. 28 and 29 , a solution 180 including a liquid L2 and micro light emitting devices 10 may be prepared (S602). An absorbing material 140 may be wetted in the solution 180 (S603). Here, the absorbing material 140 may be coupled to the support 150. However, the absorbing material 140 may be configured alone without the support 150. The absorbing material 140 may be wetted in the solution 180 so that the liquid L2 may be absorbed into the absorbing material 140 and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be attached to the absorbing material 140.

The transfer substrate (101 of FIG. 21 ) may be scanned using the absorbing material 140 to which the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 are attached. When the transfer substrate 101 is scanned using the absorbing material 140, the liquid L2 may be supplied to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 from the absorbing material 140, and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 attached to the absorbing material 140 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101.

While the liquid L2 is absorbed by the absorbing material 140, the micro light emitting devices 10 attached to the absorbing material 140 may enter the grooves F.

In the alignment method shown in FIG. 28 , supplying the liquid L2 to the transfer substrate 101 and supplying the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be simultaneously performed. Here, the term “simultaneous” may refer to temporal and simultaneous, or may include two steps performed together by a single process. In other words, when passing through the transfer substrate 101 while applying an appropriate pressure to the transfer substrate 101 with the absorbing material 140 to which the liquid L2 and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 are attached, the liquid may be supplied to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101, and the plurality of micro light emitting devices 10 may be supplied to the transfer substrate 101.

However, previously supplying a liquid to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 may be included. Alternatively, supplying the liquid to the grooves F of the transfer substrate 101 may be additionally performed as needed in the middle of repeatedly scanning the transfer substrate 101 with the absorbing material 140.

For example, the transfer substrate 121 may include a first groove 5111 and a second groove 5112 in each of the plurality of regions 5125. The first groove 5111 and the second groove 5112 may have a size in which two or more micro light emitting devices 5130 may fit. For example, two micro light emitting devices 5130 may enter the first groove 5111, and two micro light emitting devices 5130 may enter the second groove 5112. In this way, the possibility of defects for each pixel due to the omission of micro light emitting devices may be reduced, and the repair process may be omitted.

In the example embodiment, the first and second grooves 6111 and 6112 may be arranged in the region 6125 in a diagonal direction. When the first and second grooves 6111 and 6112 are arranged in the diagonal direction, the possibility of omission of the micro light emitting devices 6130 when the micro light emitting devices 6130 are aligned, may be relatively reduced compared to the case where the first and second grooves 6111 and 6112 are arranged in a line.

Referring to FIG. 42 , first and second grooves 6211 and 6212 may be provided in a region 6225 corresponding to the sub-pixel, and a plurality of micro light emitting devices 6230 may be provided in each of the first and second grooves 6211 and 6212.

In this way, when the number of grooves 6311 is large in the region 6325 corresponding to the sub-pixel, even if the micro light emitting device is omitted in some grooves, there is no problem in the pixel operation, so that the pixel defect rate may be reduced and the repair process may be reduced.
